I’ve never watched it, but I have taken care of many accident victims in emergency rooms. My point is that pedestrians should be more courteous to drivers than they typically are and should always be aware that in an automobile-pedestrian accident the pedestrian is going to get the worst of it. And because pedestrians will get the worst of it, they shouldn’t adopt the attitude that their invincible and refuse to look at oncoming cars as if it’s a matter of principle.

Your wife needs to be checked for diabetes ASAP.

We had our meeting with Heston in a room upstairs in the Hinds Head, then sashayed over to The Fat Duck for our four hour lunch.

I’m fascinated to read that Dr Mike likes the way British drivers (I among them) expect pedestrians to get out of the way. I always stop for pedestrians teetering on the edge of zebra crossings, but I hate those who cross wherever they please and don’t bother to look before sauntering across the road right in front of me. When I use pedestrian crossings myself I give cars plenty of time to stop and I cross briskly (but of course it’s much more exciting to jay walk).

I’ve noticed that the inhabitants of big cities seem to be thinner on average than those in smaller towns, both in the UK and in America. I used to think it was because city dwellers had to walk a lot more, but that was before reading GCBC and hearing that increased exercise did help with weight loss, so now I don’t have a theory.

“But, I’m no doubt not normal.”

Ah, how sharper than a serpent’s tooth it is

To be dwarfed constantly by Table Mountain gives Cape Town (despite its increased crime;be curious to see how it compares to the UK)..well diff. to describe.

Incredible

Never been to Cape Town, but would love to go. Have several friends from there, all of whom describe it in glowing terms. Maybe someday.

Based on a fair amount of experience, I believe that the low-carb diet is the best for those with PCOS because it improves insulin sensitivity so quickly. I’ve had many patients improve their symptoms and lose large amounts of excess fat by following a good quality, whole-food, low-carb diet. Give it a whirl.

As I said, and perhaps you will confirm Dr Mike, I believe you were talking about non-crosswalk and non traffic-light road crossing which to my mind is a different thing altogether when talking about pedestrian unfriendly.

Like Ann Dr Mike, I would love the opportunity to meet or hear you talk on one of your future visits to London. I’m an australian and lucky enough to be living in the UK very close to what I consider the very best city in the world.

Glenice

You are indeed correct. I meant non-zebra-crosswalking pedestrians. Even people in the protected crosswalks seem to pick it up a little as they cross so as not to slow down traffic, whereas here, pedestrians often slow down, almost in an act of defiance.

This study was done by people who have accepted the lipid hypothesis as fact and are hyperworried about the slight increase in LDL levels that some experience on low-carb diets.
